Undine is on a distinguished road
We used a buyer's broker for our purchase. She located the boat for us. Yes, she was paid from the seller's broker's commission. We felt the entire time that she was on our side. Part of the problem we had was that the seller and his broker had an unrealistic view of the value of the boat. We knew better because we had been trying to buy several. (Two of which were sold for less than we were offering when we had a signed contract and a deposit check in the broker's hand - different broker.) Anyway, our broker researched the most recent sales and presented the argument with proof to the seller's broker and convinced him.
